  "She said, you better not infuriate Black egg, because you can’t afford the consequences." Luo Ying hesitated for a moment and whispered to Han.

  Han was puzzled, and asked, "Why did she say that? Does this little thing have any secrets I don’t know?"

  Little thing?!

  Shoosh~

  Black Egg started glaring at Han once he heard his words.

  Boom~

  As expected, Han and Black Egg started fighting again. In the eyes of the others, Han and Black Egg were natural rivals, it’s hard to find a day that they haven’t fought. It had become a way of life.

  Black Egg’s speed was fast, his body was small and he could fly. To deal with this little guy, Han had studied a lot of odd techniques. He feinted an attack with his arms, then locked Black Egg’s head with his legs. Han then pretended to be struck down by Black Egg, but performed a leg sweep when he fell to surprise attack Black Egg.

  To be honest, Han had never spent this much effort when dealing with humans.

  With time, Han not only grew to like the fights with Black Egg. He even started viewing the fights as a hobby. Fighting Black Egg was very challenging and required Han’s reflexes to be extremely fast.

  After a while, Han got up with a black eye. He had lost again. But after this fight, Han felt reinvigorated.

  Fighting with Black Egg was different than fighting the enemy. Against Black Egg, Han could easily engross himself into the fight and not care about the consequences, whereas against an enemy, Han could not afford to make a single mistake as it could lead to his death. Han had a completely different mentality during the two fights.

  "Oh well, you got me. You actually got my eye! Next time I will think of a stronger attack to defeat you!" Han waved his fist and threatened Black Egg.

  Black Egg had won and was in a good mood. He lied on Luo Ying’s neck with a look of pride.

  \r \r \r

  Everyone could not help but shake their heads. Han and Black Egg fight every day, but the strange thing was that neither held a grudge. In fact, their relationship seemed to get better with each fight.

  "Let’s return and bring this Thousand-Arms Asura to 9527. Maybe he knows what it is." Han said to the others.

  Space station of 9527

  Luo Ying stayed in her room and sat on the sofa. She held her head between her hands and was talking to the Protector Banshee.

  "Are you sure there’s no mistake? Black Egg and Han have such a good relationship. Why would he hurt Han? You saw today too, Han and Black Egg had a fight but it didn’t affect their relationship at all." Luo Ying said.

  The Protective Banshee with disheveled hair shook her head and looked worried, "If my worries become reality, Han will be in great danger."

  Luo Ying frowned, "You are speaking of the descendent of dragon? Is that possible? I know that the dragon race is the legendary King of the beasts, and took advantage of the Space Law of the Dark Net and dominated the entire universe. They were the rulers of the ancient universe, but the dragon race has gone extinct for a long time."

  "They did not go extinct, but rather disappeared." The protective Banshee corrected Luo Ying and said heavily, "I saw Black Egg’s eyes and ferocious smile when he swallowed the Sky Eye which contained massive amount of energy with my own eyes."

  "I suspect that Black Egg is not a Soul Beast, but rather a descendent of the Dragons. He has yet to gain the power to challenge the world, so he is temporarily by Han’s side. But, once he finishes his transformation, based on the tales of the Dragon’s evil nature, he would not only be a deadly threat to Han, but an enormous threat to the entire universe."

  "I don’t believe you." Luo Ying said stubbornly, "All the Soul Beasts are afraid of Black Egg because they are of the same species."

  "That’s not necessarily true. If Black Egg were a descendent of the Dragons, the Soul Beasts would also fear him."

  Luo Ying continued to speak, "But Black Egg can use the Soul Kill ability, which is a unique attack of the Soul Beasts."

  "Don’t forget, the legendary Dragons race could use Dragon’s Breath. Perhaps Black Egg’s ultimate attack is not Soul Kill, it’s only that we could not tell the difference between the Dragon’s Breath and the Soul Kill."

  Luo Ying continued and said, "Even if Black Egg was a descendent of the Dragons, Han might not come into conflict with Black Egg. They may become good friends. Han has a lot of friends and he treats them well."

  The Protective Banshee let out a sigh and resignedly looked at Luo Ying, "Little Ying, you are too naïve. Even though I am unable to determine if Black Egg descended from the Dragons, could you not see the pride that Black Egg seemed to be born with?"

  "Han could be considered half a master of Black Egg, but so what? Don’t they still fight everyday?"

  "And you must know, even though Han is easy going, he is filled with stubbornness. In the short amount of time that we have known him, we have seen him refusing to back down from death match more than once. This shows that he is a stubborn man. If one day conflict truly broke out between the prideful Black Egg and that Stubborn Han, it would be a fight to the death."

  Luo Ying was speechless. Han was truly quite special. He was young and funny, but very stubborn. In contrast, Black Egg was high and mighty. If they both got angry, the fight would be ugly.

  "Black Egg is really powerful. Right now, Han is unstoppable with Black Egg as a trump card. But the problem is, how long will this trump card last?"

  The reverse of the universe, commonly known as Dark Net.

  Here, time and space met. There were countless huge tunnels without an end, moving past all obstacles towards an unknown destination.

  Earth, the majestic blue planet was filled with charms.

  The present Earth was not without residents. On the contrary, millions of elderly men and women refused to leave this planet where generations of ancestors lived on.

  China, the Northern Shan Bei Mountains.

  At the edge of the yellow land, an elderly man dressed as a farmer was sitting on the ridge of the farmland in a daze. He watched the distant strange sky, and thought about what to do in the future.

  Elderly people were often stubborn. The younger people all knew that since the development of synthetic food, there was no need for farming. Even vegetables could be grown in a base with automatic photosynthesis.

  But this old man could not forget the barren land of the village. He felt that synthetic grains were not as fragrant as the grains he grew with his own hands.

  But now the entire world has changed. He had moved with Earth to a foreign place. The sun still existed but no longer gave off light. The Earth was always in the dark, and the distant night sky no longer shined with stars. Only a few planets like Venus and Jupiter still accompanied Earth. They stayed silent in this dark world, and seemed lonely.

  The elderly people who lived on earth were also lonely. Some had already regretted their decisions to not follow their children and grandchildren to Twin-Horse Galaxy. The elderly people were unwilling to leave Earth, but the young people did not want to leave either.

  Back then, the reason that most of the people on Earth followed the Army and emigrated, was that they really couldn’t reject them. Everyone knew that the years have been the hardest on the warriors in the Army. There were only so many warriors with super powers on Earth. They fought the battles, and bled their blood. The majority of the ordinary people had lived relatively safe and happy lives because of them.

  A man cannot forget his roots. When the Army came to the village and pleaded for them to leave, the soldiers had tears in the eyes and were slapping their own faces. They claimed that they were incompetent, and had no way to protect everyone, so they could only retreat everyone to safety.

  Faced with such a scene, who would have the heart to say no? Anyhow, the lives of the 150 billion people on earth were saved by the Army.

  The old man sat outside for a few hours. After smoking nearly half a pack of cigarettes, he resignedly stood up and walked towards his home. Humans needed to eat, but it was quite boring eating alone so the old man usually just took a few bites of steamed buns, bacon and pickles. When he was thirsty, he would drink a cup of water from the automatic machine which collected water molecules.

  Everyone in the village had left. Only the old man and a dog called Old Yellow remained. In the past, Old Yellow loved to bask in the sun. But now, the Sun no longer shined and Old Yellow became more depressed. It would lie in the yard all day without moving, and refuse to eat. It probably did not have a few days to live.

  When he pushed open the door to the courtyard, the old man froze for a moment. The Old Yellow dog that always lie on the ground suddenly looked a few years younger. It was lying next to the side of a young man and wagging its tail. The young man wore very strange clothes. It was similar to the armor that the army wore, but the Earth army all had soft armor and this young man wore an over the top hard armor. If placed in the past, the armor would be the standard uniform in soap operas.

  The young man was squatting on the ground, patting Old yellow. When he saw that the old man had come home, he smiled and stood up.

  "You are?" The old man asked suspiciously.

  The young man had a pair of sword-like brows and was very handsome. He smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Yue, I am here to take you to our base camp."

  "Base camp? What is that?" The old man asked out of confusion.

  "It is a place for everybody to settle." Xiao Yue said in deep voice.

  The old man saw Xiao Yue use his hand and drew a line in midair. Then, a bright door immediately appeared. Before the old man realized what was happening, the big yellow dog jumped into it.

  The old man was very curious, so he followed Xiao Yue into the door. After a second of blinding light, the old man realized he had arrived on the beach. On the sand, there were a lot of old people like him, Aryan people, Chinese people, Caucasians, Indians, Mesopotamian, Arabians, Eastern African, as if everyone who didn’t want to leave Earth was here.

  The beach was full of lounge chairs, many balls of light were hanging on the trees, floating in the ocean. Ever since the sun had disappeared, the entire Earth became very cold, but it was surprisingly warm here. The old man suddenly felt like his arthritis was going away.

  By the time the old man looked around, Xiao Yue already disappeared into the thin air, the yellow dog found new friends, and now it was chasing after a slow turtle. Maybe as a result of the fact that this place was filled with light, a lot of animals from the ocean gathered near here.

  Since people were here from all over the world, they were all speaking in the Universal Language. Reality has shown that an old language like this could be used all over the universe.

  The old man from the northern Shaanxi plateau made a lot of new friends quickly using his slow Universal Language. He was not young after all and spent a lot of years mastering this complex yet concise language, but it was okay. As the language environment changes, he would very quickly adapt to the life style here.

  "How did you guys get here?"

  "There was this one person, he took me here."

  "Was his name Xiao Yue?"

  "No, I remember he said he was named Sky Fire, a very handsome guy with a very peachy face, and definitely more muscular than me when I was his age."

  "I don’t see anybody farming, what do you guys eat?"

  "Vegetables, fruits, beef, fish, sea urchins, whatever you want to eat!"

  "Where did all the food come from?"

  \r \r \r

  "Not sure, but there is always food in those houses by the beach. The white house over there is for storing dairy products, the red one is for meat, the green one has fresh vegetables, and that extra big bar, it is full of furniture. If you need any, you can just go and get some. But of course, we have to cook our own food, oh yeah, you are Chinese, you are probably good at cooking right?"

  The old man from Xia Bei province started laughing, "I can make Oil Splashed Noodles!", he said proudly.

  "That sounds amazing, you should cook it tonight, I will help you!"

  "Sure, do we have spices? Oil Splashed Noodles won’t taste good if it isn’t spicy."

  "Don’t worry my friend, I literally have not seen so many types of peppers in my life. There is a great variety of food here, you will be pleasantly surprised."

  The old man from Xia Bei province and the North American white old man went to the barn together to prepare for tonight’s dinner. By the looks of it, they were already starting to settle into the lifestyle here. To these lonely people, maybe this was the best place for them to spend their retirement years.

  Along the shorelines, about 15km down, there was a mountain.

  At the moment, there were two people standing on the cliff. One of them was Xiao Yue who picked up the old man from Xia Bei. He was full of energy, loved to smile, but beside him, it was a guy with an expression that was cold as stone. He had a mustache and stood without moving.

  "Did you pick up all of them?" The stiff man asked.

  "Yes, two million three hundred seventy-four thousand and one hundred fifty-eight people." Xiao Yue said with a smile, "This is a really nice place, they shouldn’t have any problems retiring here."

  The other man shook his head. He glanced at his complicated Flying Star gyroscope stop watch, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is temporary. We are 41 days and 9 hours away from the next attack. I hope they are still able to stay happy then."

  Xiao Yue kept a smile on his face and said: "Why so pessimistic? We have escaped from the most dangerous place, we can definitely escape the next one too."

  The other man clearly was not in a good mood. He sighed and said: "Well, even if we escape the next time, what about the time after that? We have already exposed our hideout, it doesn’t matter where we run to, the all-powerful Star-Chaser technology would be able to find us within 49 days, so we have to keep on switching places."

  "You know what is the worst thing?"

  Xiao Yue shook his head with a smile on his face.

  The stiff guy said, "The worst part is, once we start running, we can never turn back. 100 years, 1000 years, 10000 years, until the day we die, we have to keep on running."

  Xiao Yue really liked smiling. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Don’t be so pessimistic, compared to Pluto, we are still alive, that is in of itself very lucky. If we continue to be this depressed, how can we face Pluto who sacrificed himself for us, and our 450 million comrades."

  "We are not here safely today because of luck, it is because Pluto exchanged Makemake, Ceres, himself, and our 450 million comrades for it. We should treasure every single day that we are alive."

  "Look at these humans, they don’t have an infinite life like us. Even though they might even die tomorrow, they are still very happy today."

  The stiff man was stunned for a while, and murmured, "Maybe you are right, but regardless, our situation is suboptimal. Without the protection of the World Destroying Dragon Knight, we can only run."

  Xiao Yue faintly smiled and lightly said, "You are wrong, we have one more Dragon Knight."

  The stiff guy frowned and said, "You mean him? But he only has half of the genes of a Dragon Knight. He can count as half of a Dragon Knight at most, and he is so young, too young."

  Xiao Yue looked up to the sky. Within the Dark Net, there were no stars in the sky, it seemed very lonely.

  "Don’t forget the oath made by the World Destroying Dragon Knights. We will protect our freedom with our lives, and fight until the very last half of our lives!"

  "It has been so many years but I often think back to the Dragon Knights’ oath. Half a life, why didn’t they promise to fight until they die? It is obvious, it would make more sense to either fight or lose one whole Dragon Knight."

  "This is very interesting, after so many cruel fights, until today, the universe only has half of a Dragon Knight left. Could it be that from the very beginning, the Dragon Knights saw the future? And that our freedom will be saved by the last half Dragon Knight?"

  The stiff guy did not speak, he thought for a while and shook his head.

  "Xiao Yue, you are so optimistic."

  "I’ve always been optimistic." Xiao Yue said without a second thought.

  "According to your optimistic thoughts, what do you think we should do in the future?" The stiff guy asked .

  Xiao Yue smiled, "Run, run non-stop, until the last half Dragon Knight grows up."

  "How many eras will that take?" The stiff guy asked.

  "Probably not that long." Xiao Yue said excitedly: "Have you ever seen a genius who could reach the warlord level after only 4 years?"

  "Nope."

  "Have you heard of anyone like that?"

  "Nope."

  "Then why would you think he would need many eras to reach the realm capable of slaying gods and murdering demons?"

  "Uh……" The stiff guy had no good answer, so he stopped talking.

  Xiao Yue laughed out loud, "We are very unlucky, there is only half of a World Destroying Dragon Knight left who can protect us. But we are also very lucky. Because he is not a pure Dragon Knight, the obstacles and events he faced are very…… devilish and unique."

  The stiff guy was confused, "Even though what he had achieved seemed very impressive, but both you and I know that there is only one way, the right way to become supreme."

  Xiao Yue shook his head, "Sage Wood, you are actually wrong. We only have half a Dragon Knight left, so if he walked the exact same road as the other Dragon Knights, the "right" road, there could be a chance that he would be supreme. But don’t forget, those Dragon Knights who became supreme through the "right" way are now all dead. What we have left is this last half Dragon Knight, you think it could change everything by walking down the same path?"

  "No, definitely not, he can only walk a road that no one has ever walked before, and use unconventional ways that we cannot imagine to reverse this chaotic world."
